Step 2: Prepare the Onions

Step 3: Make the Batter

  • In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well.

Step 4: Add Milk

  • Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the batter-coated onions into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Step 8: Drain and Serve

  • Remove the fritters and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm and enjoy your crispy delights!
